Lovely day trip if you are into nature!

5.00Had a great experience. The tour guide, whose name I forgot (he wears a mullet and likes geology), was very knowledgeable and gave a lot of insight into local history, Aboriginal traditions, and local fauna. A bit of a longer drive, but worth it!
Great trip, well planned, good knowledgeable guide

4.00Booked a day tour to Kakadu including a river cruise with crocodiles. Everything was really good. Our guide Leigh was great and very informative. The only reason I grade it 4 instead of 5 stars is that I would rather have done a longer tour, a few days round-trip in stead of this one day, a 650 km roundtrip. I can highly recommend Wildlife Australia and if you have only one day, well it's far better than nothing!
Spectacular scenery, and well preserved rock srt

5.00It's a long day at least 3 hours each way, the scenery on route is unchanging. You have an option for jumping crocodiles or bird watching, it depends on the time of year for the latter, so choose carefully, there are also regular comfort stops, food options are limited to the way out, but you can stock up and put in the toolbox provided.
A great day out to an iconic Australian park

5.00We really enjoyed this trip where we did the 1 hour jumping crocodile cruise and visited Kakadu. We particularly liked the walk around the rock art paintings at Ubirr with the view of the park from the top. Rick was a great host always making sure we were looked after with frequent stops and water top ups. His commentary on Darwin, the park and paintings added to the experience. It was a 13 hr day but went quickly. Coach was comfortable with air con. Would recommend.

5.00The day was well planned and well paced. Tim, our guide, was very knowledgeable and informative. We enjoyed the experience.
Good tour started, stopped by major accident.

3.00Good tour started on time but got only half of it. Halted by terrible accident on the road onto Kakadu Nat park. Whole road was blocked and was told it would be I until late hours! The guide could do nothing but turn around and return to Darwin. So have given a 3 star only because of that otherwise I’m sure it would be 5 star. So we never got to visit Kakadu or the rock art! We did see various birds on the way and we had the included Croc jump experience before which was very good, eventually seeing a few large crocs jumping out of the river! We were simply unlucky on that day but every sympathy to the people and families involved in this accident! I would think some people seriously injured or maybe killed by what we witnessed?
Fantastic experience

5.00An immersion in the Northern Territory wilderness and Aboriginal culture. Followed and guided by an excellent guide who accompanied us with care and professionalism in a unique adventure. Alex made us live an extraordinary adventure despite the heat and humidity of the day.
